When to start Embrace Scar Therapy Strips?

It is advised that you begin Embrace therapy within 2 weeks of your procedure and treat for 8 weeks.  I sit on the medical advisory board for Neodyne and wish you well in your recovery.  Hope this helps.Dr. Ali Mosharrafa

I would use a Hidef scar therapy approach vs. static Embrace scar patches. This would include pulsed dye laser, Plato's Scar Serum, fractional laser, and tension free approach.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#realself100 Surgeon

While all plastic surgeons have their own preferences in scar therapies, Embrace Active Scar Defense is a great option for patients. It is applied once an incision is closed, which is typically 1-2 weeks after surgery. While every person does heal at their own pace, 2 weeks postop is an ideal window for beginning treatment. Each Embrace strip lasts for up to 10 days before reapplication is needed, and treatment should continue for 8-10 weeks. Once completing treatment with Embrace, patients can help further reduce the appearance of their scars by transitioning to a silicone scar gel. Scar therapies are best used early in the healing process, so it is great that you are doing your research. It is important to follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure proper healing and your satisfaction. Good luck in your recovery!
